Blue tint...then unresponsive...only 5 months old

\015 Acer Ferrari F-22....relatively brand new at 5 months old.\015\012This morning the screen had blue-ish tint to it...thought maybe the kids had messed with it. As soon as I clicked the mouse, the monitor screen went black...power still on.\015\012I re-started the computer, and the power to the monitor 'sort of' came on in that the power button lit up...but no other controls lit up.\015\012Totally unresponsive.\015\012I switched it out with an old Packard Bell 13" (ugh!) for test purposes and the computer seems to work fine?\015\012Driver issue due to possible update I'm not aware of?...or did my nice monitor just leave me in the dirt?\015\012Win Vista Ultimate 64-bit\015

Answers :

You're probably lucky that this happened now. You're most likely still covered under warranty. Contact Acer support and arrange a swap. If your pc works okay with another monitor there's no point in troubleshooting further. Get that monitor switched before the warranty runs out.
